- Reposted by brian david gilbertWoke up in a lovely bed and breakfast today on a lovely vacation to find out a place I've loved to work for just over a decade has been dismembered in minutes. Just wanted to join the chorus to say that I've been let go from Vox Media on May Day, along with a great team doing great stuff.
- Reposted by brian david gilbertI am among the MANY folks who got laid off today. Don't have anything good or thoughtful to say on it atm. gutted, sad, feel completely fucked. Fuck vox media management forever. they did this shit on may day. vox media union forever.
- Reposted by brian david gilbertAfter today, I am not employed! Not sure what the hell I'm going to do next but follow me on twitch and instagram (pizza_suplex_vevo) and stuff. twitch.tv/pizza_suplex
- Reposted by brian david gilbertBy now you've probably heard the news: Polygon has been sold to Valnet and I, along with most of my wonderful colleagues, have been laid off. That said, I'm now open to new opportunities! If you've enjoyed my work and would like to work together in any capacity, please feel to hit me up via my DMs!
- Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.

- Reposted by brian david gilbertI'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: nicolecarpenterwrites@gmail.com www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...
- Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.
